Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by LuckyJ from Great sound with movies and music I have had a pair of RTiA9's for several years now and they always put a smile on my face. Music and movie sound is excellent. I recently upgraded from a Denon receiver at 130 watts to Marantz receiver and Crown pro amp at 440 watts per ch driving these and the sound went from amazing to totally astounding! As others have commented: more power really does wake these puppies up. Very pleased with these!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jnasty41 from Need ample power! Seriously! No AVR is enough! I've now had them for about 8 months, I run a Marantz SR-7007 with a Crown Xli-2500 @500 watts per channel and they handle it with grace and ease. I honestly can't imagine running them with less than 200 watts with a dedicated amp. If your AVR can get more than an HONEST 130 watts per channel with 5 or more channels driven I'll eat a bowling ball! Most great AVR's might reach 110 with 5 channels driven, they're often rated at 2 channels with high distortion and can't come close with all channels driven st 8 ohms. They really shine in movies and play music beautifully, set your speakers to small and crossover to 60 hz, they really rumble in that range, let your subs handle below that. In 2 channel music they imagine very well and are quite robust in mid range while sharp on staccato drum beats and Spanish guitar sounds. Somewhat bright on highs during break in, but calms a bit, your room can impact this one way or another, movies are truly amazing. For the money you can't do better without building it yourself, but, please make sure you are running a bare minimum of 200 watts per channel and realistically closer to 500 per channel if you want to get the most out of them.
